Master Of Engineering (Industrial Automation)

This figure is an estimate from the respected International Society of Automation (ISA) and is supported by an industry frustrated by the shortage, despite paying outstanding salaries.

EIT’s Master of Engineering (Industrial Automation) addresses this gap. The program’s twelve core units and project thesis are designed to prepare you for a dynamic career in the field whether you have a background in electrical, mechanical, instrumentation and control or industrial computer systems engineering. The Project Thesis – the capstone of the course – requires a high level of autonomy and accountability and will reinforce the knowledge and skill you attain during the degree. It is a significant research project requiring the ability to critically evaluate and apply knowledge and skill creatively. The ability to critique professional practice in the industrial automation industry will also be required. The knowledge you acquire on the Master of Engineering (Industrial Automation) will enable you to incorporate current technologies and solve complex industrial automation problems.
